Posted at the same time. Ill expire mine and add heat to your post. I think it maybe the time to invest in a Blu Ray player if only to get these. Blockbuster had an offer on a few weeks ago but I cant remember what the deal was. I wonder if the supermarkets will do a deal on these? I expect so.

Can someone tell me the point of owning Hi Def versions of 70s and 80s films?

35mm film is about twice the resolution of HD. Most films if made well will look fantastic on current screens. Look up the Dambusters on blu [edit to point out even older films than 80s/90s have that quality]. The images are stunning. HD has a long way to go to match these old films in their original 35mm glory.

Erm, this is widely available to pre-order for this price and why would it 'sell out'?? It's not limited edition like some of the boxsets were.

I asked my lecturer about old films on HD other day and he echoed exactly wots been said here, 35mm is even better than HD so I shall be buying them. Only thing is when Super HD and other new formats come out I'll probably buy it again!

I dunno but, are they definately NOT making an episode 7?? - i just think it would be a perfect time to do it before Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hammill get too old. I think with them being older too it would fit in with the timing of episode 7. I dunno, just tbhought it would be a good idea.

Hot! But I'll stick with my Star Wars DVDs. I heard George Lucas said after the release of the Limited Edition Original Trilogy Star Wars DVDs that he wanted to eliminate all copies of the original versions and in a few years only his 2004 editions would exist.

Jeesh!!! I nearly *rapped myself at the thought of that!!! God forbid!

I was pleasantly surprised how good these films looks in HD, (STVHD). but reading the comments about 35mm and HD then that's why they look good. I guess I thought the same about old movies not looking that good, or even highlighting the graininess and all that. glad I am wrong.

Full HD is actually 2,073,600 pixels, good 35mm stock film is about 10 x the resoulution, well about 20million pixels, but like you say 35mm way better than HD we have in the UK.

They're definitely not making it. There was a sequel trilogy planned WAAAAAAAYY back when Lucas was first writing the story but then he decided after the original trilogy was made that Star Wars (the films) would be Anakin's story. Plus there's like 30+(-ish) years of Extended Universe stuff it could possibly uncanonise. It's understandable to do stuff like that when it's just one book or one radio play or one comic book or whatever but 30 years worth is a hell of a lot.

Well the last star trek movie basically did just that and threw all before it out of the window. They could do it with star wars too.
